Ingredients & Substitutions

Chex Cereal: The heart of this recipe, Cinnamon Chex® cereal lends a delightful flavor. However, if you can’t find the cinnamon variety, plain Chex works well too. Additionally, you can experiment with other cereal options like Rice Chex or Corn Chex. Remember, Chex cereal’s distinct texture is perfect for that classic puppy chow feel.

White Chocolate Chips: The creamy binder that brings everything together. If you’re looking to switch it up, you could try milk chocolate chips for a richer flavor, or even dark chocolate chips for a deeper, bittersweet twist.

Pumpkin Spice: This is where the magic happens! If you’re a fan of more robust spice notes, consider adding a pinch of ground ginger or nutmeg to enhance the autumnal flavors even further. (Or try my homemade version!)

How to Store Pumpkin Spice Puppy Chow

Puppy chow can be stored in an airtight container or zipped bag at room temperature. It will last up to 2 weeks. However, I highly doubt it will last more than a few days once you start eating it!
